How to Install Downloaded Packages??

[manshahia]

I m using Suse 10.2 with KDE.
I downloaded a software 12956-knemo-0.4.6.tar.bz2 but when it came to installation.
I was unable. I gave the proper command but while configuration it gave some error.
Wat can be done now??

Here's a HowTo for installing Linux packages:

When possible, you'll probably have an easier time using YAST for package installation.

No no. there was a problem in the installation.
When i typed ./configure
processing started with lots of lines going here and there.....
The error was

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

you have to install X development package. search for it in Yast and install it.


EDIT: earlier suggestion was for Fedora/RedHat distro. corrected it.

Is intltool installed? It is not installed by default. You can install from YAST. Type intltool in the search box and it'll be there.

[manshahia]

No it says no results again.
Wat this tool is for??
